Nicki Minaj Becomes The Queen Of The ‘Billboard Hot 100’

In Nicki Minaj’s case, her discography can boast of packing both quality and quantity.

For, while it is yet to deliver a US #1 single, it did churn out several Gold, Platinum (and in some cases Quadruple Platinum) certifications by way of sales generated before streaming data was thrown into the chart mix.

Today, said charts fall at her feet.

Why?

A historical feat below…

She has surpassed efforts made by Beyonce, Diana Ross, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears and Taylor Swift to become the first female artist to have secured as many hits on the Hot 100 as she has.

Put simply? She has more chart entries than any other female artist in music history.

All three of Minaj’s latest songs were released on March 10, and debut in the top 15 of the Digital Song Sales chart: “Frauds” flies in at No. 2 with 79,000 first-week downloads sold in the week ending March 16, according to Nielsen Music; “Regret” bows at No. 10 (39,000); and “Changed” enters at No. 13 (35,000). The tracks also sport first-week totals of 12.1 million, 4.4 million and 4.8 million U.S. streams, respectively, in the tracking week.

Not bad for an artist many had written off before the release of debut album.

Looking at Nicki’s catalog
It still feels so uninspired
And when I saw her release 3 songs in a day
LAWD, I knew homegirl was so tired
Before she met her doctor, life was so unkind
Now she’s fake up top and BEHIND
And she doesn’t feel
She doesn’t feel
She doesn’t feel like a NATURAL WOMAN

lol, 76 charting songs and Nicki doesn’t have ONE that I can see her perform when she gets older #NoClassics

Is it fleeing when you’re cashing international checks?! I don’t care about the beef, but I understand if she couldn’t be bothered due to appearances, shoots, and shows. I’d clap back after my bookings, also!

LoL ok let’s break this down….. how many of those are “Top 40” , ok on that top 40 how many of those are actually Rap or at least hip hop (Queen of rap right?) And of those half a million singles how many are #1???

Queen of what?!
are you forgetting Madonna and Mariah Carey also ou of this generation RIhanna is the Hot100 Queen followed by Katy. Please stop confusing Hot100 ENTRIES as HOT100 HITS. they are not one and the same you cuuuuunt.

Evem Remy ma has a #1 single to her name lol. Nicki wants to tell her to get a “hit” when All the Way Up was a smash. She got a top 5, grammy nominated, double platinum single after spending 6 years in prison. Meanwhile, Nicki can’t get online without Safaree

Billboard made a mess out of the charts by changing their rules to help these mediocre “talents” score these so called “records”. More than half of these chicks wouldn’t even be on this list if billboard didn’t start allowing features, album tracks, non singles, etc, to chart instead of actual HITS. The Hot 100 is irrelevant and has been since all this mess started. Only a SMALL handful of the women on this list earned their chart placements with actual SOLO HITS, not features, album tracks, or any of that other mess.

This is coming from am unbiased place….sometimes when I read these comments it’s frightening. Because our community would rather tear these Black celebrities down before they give props. Y’all put too much into and on these ladies.

I don’t have a problem with the features, she puts in the work and is in demand and obviously enjoys working with other artists. but it’s a sad fact that the industry doesn’t have another female rapper big enough that everyone keeps coming back to nicki as the default female rapper.

Jealous? You did realize that Rihanna has 58 hits and 30 have been top 10 hits. So rihanna has greater than a 50% chance every time she drops a single to hit the top 10 lmao. Nobody worried about Nicki.

They need to put that bird in the Guinness World Records for having the most Hot100 hits without a #1. How she gon earn the best and worst feat at the same damn time? That ratio. LOL! Oh Nicki…you just can’t fight the karma. Money, Power, NO RESPECT!

No, Beyonce says that she GUESSES she can call her the queen of rap lol…and stop trying to hide behind Beyonce. She didnt even defend her own husband in that elevator and you honestly think that shes going to defend St. Nick? Leave the Queen Bey outta this.

This doesn’t mean too much these days being that most aren’t her songs and not much substance. But nonetheless good for her. Now let’s get a album that is fire and stop with the pop radio stuff if you are “allegedly ” hip hop 😏💋

How about applying critical thinking? How many records did each artist record? During what era? What Hot 100 around at the Aretha’s initial career? How much does streaming, internet, social media affect sales? How many #1’s? How many Grammy’s?

Aretha’s album sales are not impressive at all, she sold less albums worldwide than Rihanna (the one who you are always trying to discredit) despite releasing way more material when there was no piracy.

That´s true but it was compensated with real quality songs that charted without absurd rules and of course the real respect talent wise she was getting 🙂 Overall, she´ll always have more impact and will last longer in music world´s memory than a Rihanna obviously.

Lol TGJ loves to make excuses for Nikki’s lack of number 1’s & poor album sales. Lawd why did I even come to tho this site is it any wonder yall top posts can’t reach over 100 comments? I see it any wonder yall can’t see the likes of Bawsip?

When I see so much hate being thrown at one person I know the person stays winning. Congratulations Nicki! Keep slaying in whatever form and keep breaking boundaries. It’s hard enough for the Americans not to talk of some one of your heritage.

The hate is warranted. It’s a special type of hate for Nicki because she’s just a horrible and greedy human being. No money or billboard hits can ever cover up the real Onika. It’s called the gift of discernment; don’t be mad because we can see right through the fake.

Billboard is a fraud. They are counting singles that she was featured on as well. Not solo singles. How you expect me to believe Nicki Minaj is the queen of Rap when her first album was crossover Pop? Now we want to act surprised she took more than a week off to work on a whack ass verse for Remy?

This headline is a damn lie!!! Queen of Billboard is Mariah MF’n Carey!! Most Hot 100 entries isn’t the same as Most Number 1 billboard chart toppers and seeing as Nicki doesn’t even have 1 damn number 1 single there is too much hype around this 1 Billboard record being broken she hasn’t even reached Aretha’s other accolades on the chart or awards let alone any of the other Billboard Queens who reign over her. This is an accomplishment for the Hip Pop Queen but y’all tried it with that caption!!

The charts need to be revamped to reflect the current state of music sales. You cannot compare record sales in the 50s with the 90s so why are you comparing record sales in the 90s with present day? After 1997, NO song has sold more than 15 million copies (physical CD singles sales – NOT STREAMS). So why are comparing songs with minor monetary success from streaming with physical CD single sales of the past? Seems dumb to me. All of Nicki Minaj’s singles and features on other people’s songs even adds up to 1/10th the amount of money Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind” single made in 1997″ (33 million physical sales) or Whitney’s I Will Always Love You single (20 million) made. So who is the queen of Billboard? The real queens are the divas, Elton included, with the most physical sales that set the sales records in the industry. That includes Mariah, Elton John, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and even artists like Britney Spears and Toni Braxton. If Nicki wants to be recognized on the same level Billboard is going to have to make a brand new chart where she can properly be recognized for her sales and not be overshadowed by the selling giants like the aforementioned.

Like I said before they are so upset, poor things, fromtNicki been getting from hem from the get go even when she was fully an underground, talking about how her 15 mins is almost up been hearing that from the get go and here she is still, breaking records still being successful regardless of all the negativity she gets.
